HABs 101 Webinar: The Power of Plants
March 10, 2026 6:00PM - 7:30PM
Zoom
Contact: Erica Clites, clitese1@msu.edu
In previous “HABs 101” webinars, we learned about the basics of harmful algal blooms, the value of algae in aquatic ecosystems, and heard from Michiganders who are tackling HABs in their inland lakes.
In March, we will look at The Power of Plants and discuss how to use plants to reduce nutrients and help prevent algal blooms.
Hosted by Michigan Sea Grant and partners around the state.
